Colonel Ozawa Izumino, who was directing the battle in the tank, couldn't help laughing when he saw the opening fire from the national army position in front.
"These Chinese people are really stupid. Do they really think that using machine guns can stop the advance of imperial tanks? Inform the tanks in front to advance at full speed, rush to a distance of two hundred meters from them, and then destroy their firepower points one by one!"
Ozawa Izumino forgot the old saying in China, "Extreme joy brings sorrow and sweetness brings bitterness." Just when he ordered the tank brigade to charge at full speed, a Type 95 tank at the front was hit by a stray bullet.
The expected situation of sparks flying and bullets being bounced away did not occur. The chariot shook violently for a few times like a person suffering from malaria, and then the whole chariot slowly stopped. It was originally high.
The gun barrel that was rotating around also hung down, and finally the entire tank emitted black smoke and stopped in the middle of the street.
As soon as the tank at the front stopped, the speed of the tanks behind immediately slowed down. Ozawa Izumino, who could see clearly from the observation port, couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Baga, what's going on? No. 3365, what happened? Why did it stop?"
"Master Dazuo, No. 365 has been shot!" After a while, the driver in the cab reported the situation to him.
"Nani? Got shot?"
Ozawa Izumino said in disbelief: "How could the Chinese machine gun penetrate our armor? Did they use armor-piercing bullets?"
"boom……"
A huge explosion passed through the tank and reached Ozawa Izumino's ears. The huge explosion shook Ozawa Izumino who was sitting in the tank.
"Your Excellency, Colonel, no, No. 3369 was also shot. The ammunition depot in their tank was penetrated by the Chinese armor-piercing projectile, and then there was a big explosion. Your Excellency, Colonel, what should we do?"
The driver's panicked voice reached Ozawa Izumino's ears.
Ozawa Izumino also saw through the observation mirror that the Chinese army on the opposite side was firing bullets at him. Bullets with flashes were flying towards his tank. Ozawa knew that those were armor-piercing bullets fired by the opponent.
Incendiary bombs.
"These Chinese bastards!"
Ozawa Izumino really didn't understand how the Chinese people on the opposite side could have armor-piercing bullets. This kind of ammunition could not be produced in China at all, and this kind of armor-piercing bullets was not as effective against armored tanks as combat anti-aircraft guns, so it was very difficult to use on the Chinese battlefield.
It's hard to see this type of ammunition.
After waiting for a while, the driver still didn't hear Ozawa's order, so he couldn't help but ask urgently: "Your Excellency, Colonel, please give the order!"
Ozawa Izumino looked around and said: "Loader, immediately signal the surrounding tanks and order them to pass through other streets or alleys."
"Hai!"
The Japanese armored forces of this period were not luxurious enough to equip every tank with radio communications. Therefore, they had to rely on semaphores to convey orders on the battlefield. Soon, the top cover of a tank opened, and a
A Japanese soldier emerged from the turret holding two small flags, one red and one green, and waved them.
After a while, more than a dozen Japanese tanks on the street changed direction. Some of them turned to the surrounding alleys, and some simply knocked down the nearby residential buildings, passed through the middle, and quickly disappeared.
In the sight of the opposite position, only the remains of two tanks still emitting smoke were left.
"Sir, it's bad, the Japanese tanks are coming around from both sides!"
On the position, an observation post reported to Suri in a panic.
Suri shook off the dirt from his shoulders and looked in the direction of the observation post, but a large cloud of smoke came over and blocked the sky. He tried to find traces of Japanese tanks, but the visibility on the position was too low at this time.
It was windy, and the wind was not strong. It was not easy to find the enemy's chariot shrouded in thick smoke.
"How did you discover the Japanese movement just now?" Su Rui, who couldn't find any trace of the Japanese tanks after looking for a long time, couldn't help but curiously asked the observation post.
The observation post said with a proud look: "Sir, don't underestimate me. I have a very good eye. Every time my father goes hunting, he takes me with him. Sir, you have equipped me with a telescope. If I still can't see it,
Didn’t you live up to your commander’s expectations?”
Suri didn't laugh when he heard this. He takes you to observe the prey every time he hunts. Doesn't this lower your level to that of a good friend of some kind of human being?
He turned around and looked around, and found that there were several soldiers around him who lowered their heads and kept shaking their shoulders. After warning several soldiers around him with his eyes, Su Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good, continue to observe."
!”
"yes!"
The commended observation post devoted himself to his career with full energy.
Bai Jingran on the side also suppressed a smile and said to Su Rui: "It seems that the Japanese have learned well and learned to attack from our flanks. Can your flanks withstand it?"
"It doesn't matter!" Su Rui said confidently: "Our flanks are the fifth company and the sixth company. Each company is equipped with four heavy machine guns, and is also equipped with armor-piercing bullets. If the little Japs pass by, they will also be in trouble.
, but I still have to remind them."
After Su Rui finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed the phone from the side and shook it. The call was quickly connected. On the phone, Su Rui explained a few words to the two company commanders before hanging up.
Telephone.
After putting down the phone, Suri smiled and said to Bai Jingran: "Fortunately, the Japanese artillery shells did not blow up the phone line, otherwise we would have to rely on the communications troops to convey the message."
"Bagou...Bagou..."
A crisp sound of gunfire reached Suri's ears. He looked up and saw a group of scattered black dots in front of him. It turned out that they were Japanese infantry coming up.
Seeing the Japanese infantry coming up, Suri also loudly issued an order, "Don't shoot the machine guns yet. The infantry enters the position. Target the Japanese infantry and open fire immediately!"
After the order was given, the infantrymen who had been hiding behind their positions rushed over, set up their rifles and opened fire in front!
"Bang bang bang..."
The crisp sound of the Garand rifle began to ring through the position, and countless flying bullets flew towards the Japanese army.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Countless bullets hit the path of the Japanese army's advance, making the Japanese army unable to hold their heads up. Although the Japanese army had tried their best to disperse, Japanese soldiers were still shot and fell to the ground from time to time.
Colonel Kent Murata watched from behind and gasped. Major General Mitsuru Ushijima, the leader of the offensive brigade, was determined to win this time, so he first carried out a half-hour artillery bombardment, and then dispatched a regiment plus a tank brigade.
In an attempt to use the power of Mount Tai to conquer the seemingly weak position of the Chinese army in one fell swoop.
But who knew that first the opponent would use a heavy machine gun, and a heavy machine gun was just a heavy machine gun, and he would also use armor-piercing incendiary bombs. This time, Kentaro Murata was confused. Incendiary bombs are luxury goods, and China can produce them.
No, it all relies on imports. When did the Chinese army, which is so poor that they can’t even wear shoes, have such a thing?
In the blink of an eye, the two Type 95 tanks turned into scrap metal, and the tank behind had to sneak through the alley next to it in an attempt to attack from both sides.
Seeing this situation, Kentaro Murata could not count on the chariot brigade to clear the way for him, so he had to hurriedly order a brigade to start attacking. But as soon as he attacked, the opponent's firepower swept over like a storm.
At this time, the chief of staff of the wing hurriedly reported: "Your Excellency Colonel, the First Brigade reported that the Chinese army's firepower was too strong and their brigade's losses were too great. We requested the wing to provide fire support."
Kentaro Murata became angry when he heard this, "You idiot Shiro Sakai, how long have you been attacking? Why do you need fire support so soon? Are the grenade launchers and heavy machine guns in his hands just decorations? Or is he at the Imperial Army University?
Have you returned everything you learned to the instructor?"
The chief of staff said in embarrassment: "Your Excellency, I have seen the situation on the other side. It is indeed not the fault of Major Sakai. The Chinese Army has not used machine guns yet. They are just attacking us with rifles now. But their rifle firepower is a match."
It's so violent that their grenade nozzles can't move forward at all. Even if they move forward, they don't know which target to attack. It's impossible to use the grenade to blow up all their riflemen one by one, right?"
"Nani?" Murata Kentaro was stunned for a moment. Such fierce firepower was actually just their rifles shooting. How is this possible? Just now, he thought that there were at least ten or even twenty machine guns deployed on the opposite side!
"What about their machine guns?"
The staff officer shook his head: "I didn't see them exposing their machine gun fire points. I guess they wanted to wait until we got closer before using their machine guns to cause us a lot of damage."
Kentaro Murata was stunned after hearing what his staff said. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation after being a soldier for more than ten years.
"All right!"
It took Kentaro Murata a long time before he had to transfer the only artillery piece he had (four infantry cannons), and at the same time he also warned his chief of staff.
"Go and tell Sakai, I'll give him two hours. If he still can't capture the Chinese army's position, he will have his own disembowelment!"
"Hai!"
